What a race the Hungarian Grand Prix was.
If we are trying to understand what has made the last two races interesting, arguably the key factor is that they were livened up by cars being out-of-position, with Williams ahead at Silverstone and Ferrari at the Hungaroring.
Had the Mercedes drivers ended the first lap first and second, it would probably have gone down as another straightforward race.
